  Update Notes for May 20th

  TEXT AND UI I've made some of the UI more responsive to the localization and text, so no matter what language you want to play on, it should be much smoother! Although I'll keep working on it to improve it. SETTINGS Now while the settings did work before, it felt empty and unfinished. Today I made the settings responsive to the text, added a few things: Show FPS Toggle hero XP orbs Turn off DMG numbers excess Show Dmg Meter Show enemy Enhancements Show Perk Allow Stat Notificatoins Show enemy HP unhit Stat Notification The game now informs you when you've crossed a threshold of damage across all your units: 50 DMG 100 DMG 200 DMG 500 DMG ... etc. so that you can have a better understanding of your powerlevel across your units. Scavenger Trinket The starter trinket 'Scavenger' felt very underwhelming: "Gain a demolish item at wave 10, 20 and Plans of Profit at wave 40" So I decided to revamp it to make it more interesting: "Gain Plans of Profit at wave 30. It now only gives 200% sell value. Every few units destroyed grants +1 Unit Limit. Each increase requires more destroyed units." So if you find ways to destroy your hamsters, there's bigger benefit to it. You can increase your unit limit slowly but surely. I hope you guys enjoy these new changes! I'll see you on the HamsterCraft battlelfield! - Docrage

  Update Notes for May 15th

  Big strategic changes in the May patch for HamsterCraft. UNIT LIMIT: Before you could build as many units as you wanted as long as you had the cheese, but this made endless and long matches boring. Standard limit of units is 6, but this can be increased in different but difficult ways: If you build a farmster hamster, your limit increases by +1 (selling it also takes away this increase. Building a Seerster of Wrath will increase your limit by +2. Buying an item called Forbidden Experiment lets you sacrifice a chosen unit to increase the limit by +1. ome trinkets, (currently only one) lets you increase the unit limit by +1. Engineer Prodigy. I'm still figuring out good ways to let the players increase their unit limit, but so far this feels good. Seerster of Fortune is buffed. Every farm produces +10 more cheese and curio items may drop from enemies. CURIO is a consumable item which you can give to one of your hamsters to increase one of your stats randomly. Smaller Changes "common" items (item level 15 and below) only have 2 stats. (was 3 previously) soulcore has a unique effect (and sound effect) when you hold it on top of a unit. units have an effect if you hold a consumable on them. (pots, demolish, etc) breaking rocks has an effect now you can see buffs on units when you inspect them. also how many curious they have. unit radius no longer goes on top of the UI. Corizzo at lvl 45 will shoot arrows accordingly now. boomster bombs reworked. They still stack, but the bomb icon changes based on stack amount. unit total damage now shows up as (25.1M) instead of (25,120,000) legendary weapons are buffed. they can have up to 4 different stats. Soullink boots now show the correct description for the currently equipped ability. match history tweaks, now shows ENDLESS score on the match card. ENDLESS: As I mentioned, I've been tinkering with endless, trying to make it feel more challenging but fun. Items start dropping a lot less in later stages of the game after wave 80. ...

  Update Notes For May 8th

  Happy Launch! I hope you've all enjoyed the game and I'm tweaking and still working on it to make it the best experience possible. - I have fixed at least one game crashing bug that happened with the item Arcane Mark and Spirit Mark, if you destroyed one of those units while the mark was active. This has been fixed. - I've also made it so how heroes level up is more clear now (hopefully), since a lot of people had difficulties understanding how heroes gain experience, and they usually just assumed they gain XP for every kill. This is incorrect. Heroes level up in unique ways usually tied to some stat like multishot, damage, crits, etc. - THIS IS A FUN ONE. I've added so players are able to see the match history / gamestate of the top 3 runs of endless. You can now see the build of the best Endless players on ladder. Go have a peek at the best players builds! - among other smaller bug fixes: can't rebuy items in the store if you already own them. You now cannot try and unlock ranked if you don't have tickets, etc.. Hope all you keep playing and enjoying the game, and let me know if there are any issues! All the best, Docrage
